Nice Patchouli - Oud scent
Binet Papillon's N°8 Myrrh Blood-Drop is an engaging and distinct unisex perfume noted for its interesting mix of bright citrus and dark, resinous woodiness. It is a curious and classy fragrance with unique characteristics.
It begins with an upbeat and zesty tangerine note that hints at the "Blood-Drop" auspice with a curious, passing metallic quality. The sharpness is short-lived, providing space for a warm and spiritual center of smoky incense and earthy patchouli. The dry-down captures the soul of the fragrance: a lavish and deep base that highlights the myrrh and dark woodiness of rich oud. A final warmth is comforting and complex.

An Artistic Expression of Rare and Noble Ingredients
Jardin de Musc isn’t just a scent; it’s introduced as an olfactory artwork, and it is a labor of love dedicated to displaying the layered beauty of pure musk. This unisex scent has quickly created a buzz for its composition of unbelievably rare and high-quality raw materials, resulting in a fabulously layered, fragrant adventure.
At its core, Jardin de Musc is a remarkable bouquet of flowers, woods, and a substantial but refined musk accord. The center is formulated around an extraordinary heart of florals that include gardenia, white rose, and the rare Queen of the Night flower, that brings a slightly fresh quality to the blend. Lush and airy, the florals produce a bouquet that is not cloyingly sweet.
It is in the base where the scent reveals its true character. A heart of natural Kashmiri musk, prized for its creamy aroma with chocolate facets, is seamlessly intertwined with the buttery-rich smoothness of vintage Mysore sandalwood. The two together produce a warm and sensual base, deeply and interestingly comforting. A nuance of oud is added for complexity without crossing the border of barnyard or medicinal tones, achieving a smooth resinous quality instead.
At first spray, you may pick up what some are calling a 'funky' but pleasing opening, that quickly settles down to a wonderfully fleshy floral heart. The drydown is where the craftsmanship of this blend really come together, transforming into a smooth, woody and musky scent on skin.
It is an invitation to live within the soul of its treasured ingredients, a truly musky garden for ones senses.

A journey into the heart of a frozen, yet soulful, Russian landscape
begins with a metallic tinge of Bulgarian rose, an ephemeral layer of rose water and a pungent touch of sacred frankincense to make it alive, which is accompanied with a tingle of black pepper. This is not the pairing of a fresh and prosperous perky rose, but a more serious and grand formulation of floralcy that is enshrined against the brisk and cold of winter air.
The heart opens into an elaborate dense leather. A spicy crackle of saffron, cardamom, clove, and a hypnotic floral bouquet of champaca, plumeria, and osmanthus is layered. The traditional floral spice mix is subsumed by soft synthetics (both musk and natural) that denudes this deep and layered construction to a delicate animal quality hinting at the coexistence of life within the frigid cold. Sandalwood, in an Indian variation of tonka bean, brings a creamy and smooth resolution to the flamboyant florals and spices.The core of "Inverno Russo II" encapsulates the essence of timeless and captivating beauty. The deep, resinous and faintly medicinal base consists of a pair of oud (agarwood) and Laotian oud. This is skillfully elevated with the warmth of benzoin and a peculiar aromatic betel leaf accent, yielding a resilient and contemplative drydown.
This is a fragrance that envelops you in a sumptuous, heavy coat while upholding sophistication and comfort from dawn to dusk.
The warmer and more rich elements of "Inverno Russo II" are uniquely suited for chillier seasons, and flourish alongside chilled air. "Inverno Russo II" is more than just a scent; it is a story in a bottle ... a beautiful and emotionally rousing rendition of winter in Russia.

A Majestic Finale
Sultan Noir III is a fragrance that honors the classic and time-honored cornerstones of Middle Eastern perfumery with an unmistakable authority. This is a fragrance made for the enthusiast who loves smell and nuances, as well as traditional ingredients.
At the heart of Sultan Noir III is an immensely powerful and decadent combination of oud, rose, and musk. It is built upon the foundation of rare and valuable materials, which feature the trading and spiritual depth of musk from Himalayan goats, as well, Purple Malaysian oud giving a resinous, uncompromising backbone. All of these notes give way to the luxurious note of white ambergris, which holds in place just the right amount of mineralic warmth.
At the center of this fragrance is a velvety floral composition where the timeless strength of Bulgarian rose merges with the assertive and characteristically different Taifi rose. This is not a quiet and fleeting floral; rather, it is a heavy and voluptuous rose that holds its own beside the stylized oud and musk. The composition is also layered with gourmand notes and naturally derived elements; the hint of honey and tonka bean provide weightless sweetness, while the hay absolute comes in to add the dry and earthy intrigue.
A scent for special occasions or for when you want to truly indulge in luxury. It is a welcome tribute to centuries of perfume heritage yet retains a modern refinement.

A Modern Interpretation of a Classic Note
Exotic Oud is a creative fusion of fruity, floral, and rich woody notes. It begins with an unusual and bright burst of blackcurrant and marigold. This captivating fruity and slightly green opening contrasts with the more traditional and heavier oud fragrances on the market.
The heart of the fragrance showcases the hero ingredient of oud layered with the earthy and slightly spicy nagarmotha (cypriol oil). This layered pairing uses oud that is present without the somewhat animalic quality found in many classic formulations. It remains accessible with an air of intrigue.
The dry down settles into a rich and creamy base of leather, moss, and fir. The visceral combination allows for a smooth and sensual foundation that adds to the longevity of the fragrance while leaving a lasting impression of warm woody elegance.
